Hon. Henry &. Speake, Judge Of the SN
Judicial Circuit
We, the Grand Jury forMadison coun.
ty. at the February Term, 1887, have, in
obedience to your Honor's clear and
comprehensive charge, investigated so far
as we are able, all the indictable offenses
which were brought to our attention,
committed within the county.
In looking over the bonds OF the officers
OF the county, we find all OF them suffi-
cient except those Of Thos. B. Kelly. E.
C. Williams, J. A. Self, w. N. Heard,
William Gibson and d. P. Mann, JUS
tees of Peace, and ]. E. McCord, Con
stable, on all of which. we recommend
additional securities.
We have examined the books OF the
Probate Judge, Circuit Clerk, Sheriff.
Tax Assessor, Tax Collector, Treasurer
and Register in Chancery, and find them
neatly and properly kept.

books shows the following state OF facts;

California BOrax.

According to a statement In Der
Pharmaceut, taken from Chemical
News, A. Robottom discovered an i'm
mense borax sea in California, in
1874. Very pure borax in immense
quantities was found. He was the
first Englishman who sent q ship load
of borax to Liverpool. There is salt
bank five miles long in the middle of
this sea, the edge of which is formed
of soda. Several thousand acres of
the surrounding country are covered
with layer of crude borax from three
inches to two feet thick. CONNER
cial borax is prepared by boiling crude
borax in pans for thirty-six hours
and transferring the concentrated So
luton into watts to crystallize.) This
deposit of borax is 42O miles from
San Francisco. The high cost of
transportation, and the sudden de-
cline in the price of borax, caused
great loss to Mr.. Robottom. But
new distributing points have of late
years materially augmented the de-
mand, and the business has become
profitable. Borax land, it is expected,
will soon command FL, 900 per acre.
The Southern Pacific Railway runs
within seventy-two miles of the sea,
and in three years q railroad will run
within four miles. All the surround
ing region is barren of vegetation, no
rain falls, and habitation is impossi-

Rapid LOye-Makin @.

The Boston Budget tells story OF
love-making by the instantaneous
process that happened in the Club
in the year 1888. One summer morn
ing a young clergyman of fine appear
ance was sitting in q BARRIERS saloon
near the head of Hanover street, when
he espied the figure and face of a young
lady before the window in the act of
looking at some articles of display.
Instantly he remarked: "Please hur-
ry up; l wish to speak to that young
lady" He seized his white cravat,
and throwing it about his neck sprang
from the chair and, grabbing his hat,
without stopping for his overcoat,
rushed out of the door, to the great
astonishment of the "tonsorial art
ist." By this time theyoung lady had
nearly reached Elm street, where she
halted g. moment to look at another
window when she was accosted by the
tall young minister. His progresses
ing appearance evidently interested
her, although both parties were total
strangers, and they walked slowly
down toward the North End, convers-
ing like old acquaintance. Hereceiv-
ed permission to call on her, and in
less than a month they were married,
and it proved happy marriage.

A Satisfactory Test.
From the Baltimore Sun.


A patent attorney, who ic the in
terest of one of his clients wanted his
application for new torpedo boat
made especial" undertook to show
the commissioner how simple and
easily it would work. At his request
q tub of water was brought in, and
the attorney prepared to experiment
with his special bomb. After a learn
ed disquisition on it's merits before
the commissioner and in the presence
of quite an array of clerks who had
gathered to witness the experiment,
he chucked his torpedo boat into the
tub of water. The denouement was
decidedly more successful than he had
anticipated. AS it struck the water it
exploded with terrific and fear-in-
spring report, lifted the water from
the tub, and sent it in solid and forci-
BILE streams all over the room. One
section struck Commissioner Mont
gomery squarely on the chest, and
rebounded on the books and papers
spread on his desk; another stream
effectually stopped up the mouth OF
the patent attorney, and violent and
scattered sprays drenched every one
in the room. 1t was not O. moment
before the room was vacated, or
